Stylish Versatile Print Hoodie From Target By ValerieDavid on Nov 06, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This 100% cotton print, zip-up hoodie has fast become one of my favorite wardrobe pieces. The lightweight material makes it perfect for layering in colder months, or as a summer jacket on its own.

The hoodies come in a variety of prints and colors. The one I chose is a dusky rose color, but the bands at the sleeves and hem are stripes of navy, orange, turquoise, and burgundy. This makes the hoodie a versatile piece, as there are so many colors to pair it with. It looks great with jeans or other neutrals, and practically any color tee or turtleneck underneath works perfectly.

The lightweight cotton makes it comfy and breathable. My only concern is that the fabric may pill over time. Overall I've had good luck with Target's cotton tees, but I preserve them by only air-drying them in the dryer (no heat) and then hanging them up to dry the rest of the way. This hoodie is getting the same treatment. The good news is that it doesn't bag or stretch out after wearing as some cotton products do.

The fit of this hoodie is also very good. I'm 5'10, but the sleeves are plenty long enough. I'd appreciate a smidgen more length in the torso, but that's true of almost anything I buy. The gathered detailing at the top is flattering, and with the print makes this hoodie very feminine. Form and function, what more could you ask for?
